University of Florida - Hough Graduate School of Business

Hough Hall 310
P.O. Box 117152
Gainesville, FL 32611
United States
  • AACSB-Accredited

The University of Florida’s online MBA program “has an excellent academic reputation” and students can get their degree in as little as 16 months under the accelerated timeline or in 24 months for those wanting maximum flexibility. As “an early adopter of asynchronous MBA education, UF employs an exceptional framework that gives its online students a near-campus experience.” The lock-step program is broken out into cohorts, which “keeps you on track as you have to take the classes in the order given and [in] a set period of time.” However, the school “recognizes that the majority of students in the online program are working professionals…and truly try their best to be supportive and understanding.” Students say that “deadlines for projects and assignments are given with enough headway to make sure life doesn’t get in the way too much,” and faculty are “quick to respond to student's issues and…solve problems soon after they arise.”
Most professors are “outstanding and very responsive to questions” and are “strong educational leaders with years of experience in both industry and academia.” Read More...

University of Nebraska—Lincoln - College of Business

College of Business 201
730 North 14th Street
Lincoln, NE 68588
United States
  • AACSB-Accredited

The University of Nebraska at Lincoln's Online MBA program holds applicants to competitive expectations—two years of management/leadership experience, a 600 GMAT score, and a 3.0 undergraduate GPA are highly recommended—but students who make the cut are rewarded with an "internationally recognized" program that strikes "the perfect balance of reputation, curriculum quality, flexibility . . . and price." Students in this 100 percent online program may choose one of five academic concentrations (in business analytics, supply chain management, international business, finance, or marketing), and many name "the specialty in business data analytics" as a huge draw. Likewise, students praise the "well-rounded" curriculum with "many elective courses" all "structured into 8-week semesters [which] makes it easy to focus on one course at a time while working full-time." The "tremendously helpful" yet "challenging" professors are also "very accessible." "All the professors use the online setting in their own unique way with different forms of student collaboration and interaction" aided by technology like TechSmith Relay for interactive lecture videos, frequent live online instruction sessions, and a shared repository for Read More...

The program is structured in such a way that students may choose the best allotment of their personal time in order to “keep up with the work load.” The program adds “a great deal of classwork” to students’ lives, but most students claim it is still “doable,” as almost all professors “keep it within a tolerable range.” A student says, “The online business school classes are the most organized online classes I have taken, and I have taken online classes from multiple universities.” The faculty members at USD are “prompt with all responses.” Phone calls and emails typically receive responses within “the same day, usually within a few hours.” Advisors Read More...

4202 E. Fowler Ave.
BSN 103
Tampa, FL 33620
United States
  • AACSB-Accredited

The keyword that many students praise about University of South Florida's online MBA program is flexibility. "This online program allowed me to submit assignments around my schedule," explains one student, and many remark to some degree on the freedoms afforded by the asynchronous courses, calling it "a balanced workload that is manageable while running a household and working." For those with concerns about the digital environment, there's "an online module that walks you through how to take an online class" and the administration provides "clear instructions and helpful advice for succeeding in the program," with due-dates posted well in advance and assignments that "mirror the tech and functions that I am expected to use in the field." In short, "It was good to know my advisor was aware of my situation with work, my academic strengths and weaknesses, and charted a path that worked best for me."

Of course, simply getting set up with a solid curriculum is only the start, and students have similarly good things to say about how much their classmates and Read More...
